BMW Switches to Iceland Data Center to Reduce Carbon Emissions
Typical of automakers, BMW requires a bevy of high performance computing (HPC) applications to support its computer-aided design, crash simulation and aerodynamic calculation needs. Such programs, while critical for any automobile manufacturers’ long term innovation and success, require huge amounts of energy at the data centers in which they are housed. To reduce the cost of powering those applications, BMW will relocate some of those applications to a 45-acre data center complex in southwestern Iceland.
